The East Oregonian Is In receipt
of the following interesting letter
from L. H. Lee, who is now located
at Eagle Point in tne sawmill outi
ness. Mr. Lee was formerly school su
perintendent of Umatilla county, and
left here two months ago, looking for
a location:
Eagle Point, Ore., May 9. (Editor
East Oregonian) Since my last com
munication I have invested in a saw
mill and planer a few miles from
thlr place, and withiu two and a half
miles of the route of the Medford &
Crater Lake railroad. We have about
5,000,000 feet of good timber, fir,,
pine and cedar, convenient to the
mill, which will keep us busy for at
least two years or more.
Eagle Point is quite a small village,
located In the eastern part of the
Rogue River valley, on Little Butte,
a stream about like the Umatilla at
Pendleton. The nearest point on the
Southern Pacific to us is Central
point, 10 miles west, and the country
between here and there is mostly
prairie, but a good deal of It is very
thin and not of much value without
water.
A company is now putting In a ditch
which is expected to cover all of this
land. 'The M. & C. L. railroad passes
directly through this so-called desert
and when they once get plenty of wa
ter on it the land will be valuable.
We expect the railroad to reach this
place some time in July.
The hills here are covered with
scraggy oak, both white oak and
black, madrouno and a kind of brush
that looks much like greasewood, and
I see large numbers of hogs in the
hills everywhere, and I am told they
do fine on the mast and wild feed.
Corn does well and I see people
feeding it not only to their hogs, but
to horses and other stock. This is
not much of a wheat country, though
It does better here than In the Wil
lamette.
There are large numbers of cattle,
hogs and horses raised here, but very
few sheep. It Is brushy on the range
and the wolves are plentiful and hungry-
Of course, every one raises fruit,
but in this locality It Is mostly apples.
Small fruit does not do very well
without Irrigation. Land is high and
going higher all the time. I am
pleased with the climate thus far
warm days with cool nights and
mornings.
This is a wonderful country for
flowers, especially roses; every yard
has been full of all kinds of roses
for a month.
Two brothers of Jack Childreth of
Pendlelon, were here a few days ago,
and are coming In to run a blacksmith
and wagon shop. If any of the
friends up there think of coming
down here, I shall be pleased at any
time to give them all the information
in my reach. L. H. LEE.

Idaho Man Sells Homestead for $7000
After Seven Years' Work.
Cyrus W. Leasure . and Delia H.
Leusure have sold their fine 160-acre
farm, located about six miles east ot
Nez Perce, to Thomas Haley for J 7,
000, says the Capital News.
The transfer shows the remarkable
advance In the price of agricultural
land In the vicinity of Lewiston. Sev
eral years ago at the time the Nez
Perce Indiun reservation was allotted
and thrown open for settlement, Mr.
Leasure and his wife came down
from Moscow und went In with the
rush. They acquired this 160 acres
In section 30, township 34, range 2
east, by homestead entry and have
since then proved up on It.
Land in this vicinity produces about
an average of 20 bushels of grain to
the acre, so that during the seven
years he has owned this land, Mr.
Leasure has made thousands of dol
lars out of bis crops. He now re
ceives $7000 for the farm or at the
rate of $44 an acre. One acre has
more than paid all bis cost of filing
and proving up his homestead.
8lxty acres river bottom land, ad
Joining the city limits. Host all In
an excellent state of cultivation.
Good improvements on the place. WIU
rtturn a big profit on the Investment

A reputed treasure of gold dust
and United States greenbacks buried
In the mountains just off the old
South Park stage line, again Is luring
searchers into the hills, says the Den

on the South Park line, says that two
strangers have arrived at that place
to hunt for the booty of stage rob
bers, hidden thereabouts 40 years
ago.
In 1864 James Reynolds, a confed
erate captain became leader of a guer
rilla band similar to Quantrell's. The
gang held up and robbed whnt was
called the "Buckskin coach" on the
old South Park trail, mid secured
over $40,000.
The gang was attacked the next

nolds and John Reynolds aud one
other escaped southward.
